I mean that is sexist tbf
I didn't label him a sexist. But that is a sexist act. Assuming a man because programming fundamentally is sexist.
It's busy work. Reviewing it to make sure they didn't fuck it up takes away time to do literally anything else. It adds zero value, it only has downsides.
I would say being more inclusive is bringing value.
There's a massive issue with women being under-represented in STEM and little things like this only further cement that.
It's casual sexism. I'm not suggesting they are intentionally hating on women.
Assuming it's a man because it's programming is fundamentally sexist.
What downsides would they be?
The downside is the time taken.
